Regarding swapping out the plug without draining oil, you can have a helper apply vacuum via shop vac to oil fill in trunk while you swap out bolt. Little to no oil should come out the drain plug. I’ve done this before to get oil sample for analysis without having to worry about draining all the oil. We didn’t have shop vac form a complete seal over the oil fill line but rather regulated the vacuum by hovering the vacuum near the orifice. Good luck!
